Notice of Approval of Prevention of Significant Air Quality 
Deterioration (PSD) and New Source Review (NSR) Permit to Mid-American 
Waste Systems, Inc. (NSR 4-4-10, SD 92-02)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 9.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that on October 18, 1996 the 
Environmental Protection Agency issued a prevention of significant 
deterioration/new source review (PSD/NSR) permit to the applicant named 
above. The PSD/NSR permit grants approval to Mid-American Waste Systems 
to construct and operate a solid waste landfill on the tribal lands of 
the Campo Band of Mission Indians.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Copies of the permit are available for 
public inspection upon request; address the request to: Steve Ringer 
(A-5-1), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PSD/NSR permit requires the application 
of Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) for emissions of volatile 
organic compounds (VOCs), and Best Available Control Technology (BACT) 
for fine particulate matter (PM10). The permit also requires Mid-
American to provide emission offsets for all direct and fugitive 
emissions of VOCs. LAER requirements for this permit include 
construction of the landfill with low permeability composite liners, 
installation and maintenance of a landfill gas (LFG) collection system, 
and destruction of all collected LFG in a flaring system that will 
achieve a minimum VOC destruction removal efficieny (DRE) of 99.6% by 
weight.
    BACT requirements for particulate emissions include paving, vacuum-
sweeping, and watering of roads. In addition, the LFG flare is subject 
to certain emission limits, including allowable emission rates as 
follows: 0.06 lbs/mmBtu of NOx, 0.15 lbs/mmBtu of CO, and 0.005 lbs/
mmBtu of PM10.
    The PSD/NSR permit is reviewable under Section 307(b)(1) of the 
Clean Air Act and 40 CFR 124.19(f)(1) in the Ninth Circuit Court of 
Appeals. A petition for review must be filed by January 3, 1996.

    Dated: October 24, 1996.

Director, Air Division, Region 9.
